X-Fi XtremeGamer -> Zero w/Lawrence HDAM DAC, LT1364 AMP -> Grado SR225
I performed the cap snipping mod. It now sounds noticeably more forward (almost annoyingly so), and some of my songs give me headaches listening to them. Some of the smoothness it had also seems to have dissapeared. I did only bother snipping one leg of each of the caps, which, given my limited knowledge of circuits, should be fine (I made sure there was no contact between the snipped ends). Is this normal and I'm just not used to the highs?
